    Updates??

    I received a notification and did it manually. My wife's updated automatically in the middle of the night a few days later. She doesn't mess with any of the settings.

    Consumer Reports: Samsung won't support defective S7 Actives

    Just curious...for the people that have tested or are going to test, what test have you performed or are you going to perform? Are you testing to the limits of the actual IP68 rating? Are you doing a quick dunk in a bowl? Are people finding out that the latter is good enough to determine a...

    Ok Google issue

    Has anyone had any issues with Ok Google where it tells you that the device is locked but then it gives you the response that you asked i? I have trusted voice set up. For example, was in a store the other day and asked what I was listening to. It first said, "Sorry, I can't do that while the...

    Consumer Reports: Samsung won't support defective S7 Actives

    Uh, do car manufacturers wait for you to have a problem? I'm not necessarily just talking about life-threatening things like seat belts or air bags. But, even if a radio was found to have a faulty circuit that hasn't blown yet, they still fix it for you.

    Consumer Reports: Samsung won't support defective S7 Actives

    I still maintain my opinion that I posted last month that Samsung should extend the warranty to THIS specific issue for 2 years. After that, I can upgrade if I do hit a problem. I'll be SOL if it happens to me one year from now. And really, why do I have to go through the hassle of testing...

    Problem with Samsung Pay...

    I've only had a problem at HEB (grocery store). Otherwise, it has worked well at several other places.

    Open legal draft to Samsung regarding S7 Active water damage faults (ALL Active users please read)

    I don't mind keeping mine but, as I have said in a couple other threads, I would like them to extend the warranty for this *specific* issue to 2 years. That's how long I have to pay for it and how long I have to keep it until I can upgrade. However, if they do offer a recall and provide a...

    Samsung Announces Fix to Galaxy S7 Active Phone in Response to Consumer Reports Dunk update Jul 20

    They should extend the warranty to 2 years for water damaged phones for those phones manufactured prior to their "fix". This is how long I'm going to be paying for it and how long I need to have it before upgrading.

    Why won't my car bluetooth read texts aloud?

    Is your Bluetooth device set as a trusted device? I also came from a Windows phone and I drive an older model so I have a separate BT device (Moto Roadster 2). On WP, it worked pretty well - I could push the button to summon Cortana and texts were also read out loud without additional...

    Battery life questions: Cell Standy at 20%

    Looks like it's fine now, I followed some suggestions from the S6 forum like turning off scanning and then deleting the cache partition. The 45 degree slope has now turned into a 5 degree slope :). Had 31% at dinner last night, now it's down to 19%.

    Battery life questions: Cell Standy at 20%

    What kind of battery life are you guys getting? I'm getting hit with the cell standby issue, I thought that was a lollipop thing and would be fixed in marshmallow. Right now, it's taking a good 20%+. I guess I'll have to tweak the settings...

    Yeah, we needed to add a new line for my daughter (we were going to get her one anyway). They used that line to add the second active but then switched the number back to my wife's.

    What colors did u guys go with?????

    I took advantage of the BOGO deal yesterday and got a grey one and my wife got the sandy color (which doesn't look too bad but I wouldn't get one myself). Anyway, it's been 5 years since I've tried Android (Infuse, Atrix) so just slowly getting back into it.
